The Northern Alliance consisted primarily of Uzbek and Tajik tribesman from Northern Afghanistan (areas bordering Uzbekistan and Tajikistan). The Taliban, in contrast, are primarily Pashtun tribesman from central and southern Afghanistan. It is important to remember that in this region of the world TRIBAL identity is far more important than National identity. This difference from Western ideas of National identity puts a different perspective on conflicts in this region (as well as similar conflicts in Africa and Asia). When examined from a tribal perspective the conflict in Afghanistan becomes less about the Taliban vs. the nation of Afghanistan, and more about a Pashtun civil war.
